The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284 Against Ma Teng
Wei Tao was killed, and the whole army went straight to Xiliang's army.

These days, Ma Teng and Han Sui have fought a lot, but because of their own injuries, they stopped their fights, so there is no old harmony between the two.

When the news of the transfer of Jizhou troops came, Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately ceased fighting.

But this time, the two of them did not fight together anymore, but fought on their own.

Ma Teng and Han Sui had already seen through Zhou Yu's strategy of "two peaches killing three scholars" in the past, but they understood that since the face had been torn apart, it was impossible to return to the previous friendship, and the only way was to annex the other party. Fang is the best.

So they fight constantly.

Similarly, Ma Teng and Han Sui also knew that Wei Tao would be watching from the sidelines, so although they were fighting, they did not dare to devote themselves to it, which formed a strange stiffness.

Until Wei Tao's army went south to Sili, the two armies were preparing to meet the enemy.

"Ziyu, what do you think I should do now?"

Wei Tao didn't let Xun You come this time because he was worried about his hopes for Han, and he didn't let Zhou Yu come because he wanted to prevent anyone from behind from making unfavorable actions.

Among these people was Xun You.

Although it was very ruthless, in fact, since Wei Tao had made up his mind, he had to guard against it. The important areas in the rear were left to Xun You to take care of government affairs, while Zhou Yu's army was all in his hands.

Both Zhou Yu and Xun You are top-notch resourceful people, and Wei Tao's meaning can't be understood, but if Wei Tao orders, they will naturally obey.

In fact, Wei Tao didn't want to do such a distrust of his subordinates, but he had to.

Wei Tao knew in his previous life that in history, Cao Cao received the support of many insightful people when welcoming the emperor, but the support of those insightful people made Cao Cao wonder whether he was loyal to the emperor or to the emperor. He is Cao Cao.

Historically, in the early days when Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, Cao Cao and the emperor were of one mind, so naturally there would be no problem, but later on, the emperor gradually wanted to take power, which made Cao Cao's subordinates gradually split, and even a mastermind like Xun Yu could not It is against Cao Cao.

In the past, Wei Tao didn't have the slightest intention to compete in the Central Plains. Even if it was to invade Jizhou, it was more for the purpose of having a stable rear and attacking Chang'an. What hidden danger.

But now Wei Tao's mind has changed: to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. Since Cao Mengde can't rule the world and support the big man, so that he can calm down the world, then let himself first make the big man peaceful, and then break the foreign enemies to keep the big man forever. .

Wei Tao knew that it was impossible for everyone to accept his ideas, so such measures had to be implemented.

Wei Tao didn't expect such a thing to happen to his subordinates.

"My lord, Ma Teng and Han Sui have already split under Gongjin's plan. Even if we attack one side, the other side may die, but if the situation is critical, we may break into the battlefield. If we can attack our army, maybe we can still annex the other side. If we can go one step further and defeat our army here, then we can even sweep Jizhou by taking advantage of our army's decline, and then we can compete for the world in one fell swoop. possibility."

Zhuge Jin was cautious, and when he heard Wei Tao's question, he said a lot.

"Speaking of which, Cao Cao's defeat is not only an opportunity for our army, but also an opportunity for other princes. The world has come to a time of great struggle."

"Ziyu, you have been with me for a long time so you don't need to try to tell me like this. The road is to go step by step. Now that I am fighting with the Xiliang army, how can I win in one battle?"

Wei Tao understood what Zhuge Jin meant when he heard it, and couldn't help but smile a little.

"Hehe... It's not like my lord has never fought against them. No matter how strong the Xiliang army is, can it be stronger than the Xiongnu and Wuhuan? However, if Ma Teng and Han Sui want to choose one and attack first, I suggest that my lord attack the horses first." Teng."

"Oh? What do you mean by this? Ma Teng and Han Sui have similar military strength, but to be honest, Ma Teng can fight Han Sui with fewer soldiers, but in fact he is still slightly stronger. Weak and strong?"

Wei Tao also hesitated for a while about whether to fight Ma Teng or Han Sui first, but now he is also curious when he hears that Zhuge Jin is so sure.

"If the lord is short of troops as before, naturally we should be weak first and then strong, or even form an alliance with one side first. But with the lord's army of [-], even if we go to war with Xiliang's army at the same time, it is out of the question Naturally, it is the first to be strong and then weak. Cut off the stronger side first so as not to change things."

Zhuge Jin said with a slight smile.

"What's more, I also know that Han Sui is a man. He is quite tempting. If it is anything else, since he wants to be tempting, then I can compare with him."

"Hehe...well, if that's the case, then Han Sui will hand it over to Ziyu!"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled. Wei Tao knew exactly what Han Sui was capable of. Although he was resourceful, how could he compare with Zhuge Jin?
"Someone passed on our military order and sent an envoy to Ma Teng's barracks, saying that if he is willing to surrender, then he will not lose his position as a general. If not, our army will be everywhere, and we will definitely compete with him!"

Wei Tao's order was passed down, and someone was naturally sent to Ma Teng's barracks.

Ma Teng is hot-tempered and confident that he has the elite Xiliang cavalry under his command. Although he has also seen Wei Tao's bravery, but thinking that Wei Tao can only use some means of sowing dissension in the end, and dare not fight him head-on, he is confident again. , Naturally, he would not be polite to Wei Tao's envoy.

"Hmph! The two armies are at war, and if you don't kill them! That Wei Ziyu doesn't keep his promise, doesn't keep his promise, let alone accept the emperor's order. Even if he doesn't come, I will let him know how powerful my Xiliang iron cavalry is." You don't need to say much, just reply to Wei Tao, at noon tomorrow, it will be a battle, and I will show him the bravery of my Xiliang man!"

"In that case, farewell!"

Wei Tao just sent someone to send this order, so the envoy didn't say much, and left without saying a word.

"Hmph! Wei Tao is indeed a wolf with ambition. This time, I will destroy his army in one fell swoop and let him know how powerful he is!"

As soon as the envoy left, Ma Teng spoke immediately.

"But we have to be careful to let Han Sui benefit. Dai'er, you are leading an army to guard against Han Sui at all times. As for Wei Tao, it depends on Chao'er and Ling Ming. Are you confident?"

"Father, don't worry, since I was defeated by Wei Tao last time, my son has been practicing hard for a while, and his own martial arts has improved. Although he dare not say that he can beat Wei Tao, but there is Lingming to help me , the boy will definitely cut Wei Tao off his horse!"

Ma Chao has a strong temper. He has always been worried about his defeat by Wei Tao, and even his failure to defeat Wei Tao with Pang De and Yan Xing. Now that Wei Tao has come to the north, he is naturally the most courageous leader.

"My lord, even if Pang De sacrificed his life, he would keep the eldest son safe and help the eldest son kill that Wei Tao!"

And Pound also stood up and said, although the words were flat, they were loud.

"Okay! Let that Wei Tao take a good look at my Xiliang boy, Yuli!"

The next day, the drums were beating loudly, and Han Sui seemed to want to show that he had no intention of fighting, so when the two armies of Wei Tao and Ma Teng started fighting, he pulled out his camp and retreated ten miles.

Although for the cavalry, ten miles is only a short-lived, but the meaning of Han Sui's move is so obvious that neither Ma Teng nor Wei Tao will take it lightly.

"Da da da……"

The two armies lined up, and there was a rush of horseshoes, and then a young general in white robe and silver armor jumped out, pointing his gun at Wei Tao and shouting loudly.

"Ma Mengqi from Xiliang is here. Wei Tao, do you dare to fight me again?"

Seeing Ma Chao coming to challenge, Wei Tao couldn't help shaking his head slightly. This time Wei Tao was not going to fight in person, so he immediately looked around and asked.

"Who dares to fight with me?"

"My lord, it can be said that I have not accomplished an inch of merit by returning to my lord's command. Please allow me to fight, and kill these provocative people for my lord!"

Hearing Wei Tao's question, another general came out immediately, and everyone regarded it as Wei Yanye.

"Okay! I promise you a fight, and remember, that Ma Chao is also a man of extraordinary courage, so be careful."

Wei Tao knew that Wei Yan's martial arts might be inferior to Ma Chao's, but since Wei Yan asked to fight, Wei Tao naturally wouldn't suppress him like this, so he nodded immediately, agreeing to fight.

"promise!"

Wei Yan responded, and immediately rode his horse into battle, shouting loudly at Ma Chao.

"A mere boy dares to challenge my lord. Yiyang Wei Yan is here, and he will kill me!"

When Ma Chao saw that Wei Tao refused to fight, but instead sent a random person forward, he was immediately annoyed.

"Clang clang clang..."

Just as Wei Tao expected, although Wei Yan is brave, but in terms of martial arts alone, he is still inferior to Ma Chao, but after seven or eight rounds, he fell into a disadvantage.

But this time Wei Tao still had no intention of making a move. If he had to personally fight in such a battle, he would definitely be looked down upon by the people of Xiliang.

The confrontation between the two armies is the most imposing. The last time Wei Tao had already demonstrated his own force, this time he wanted to let the opponent see how capable his generals are, completely breaking the opponent's spirit.

"Gongming, Ziyi. Let's see what other generals there are in Ma Teng's army. If the other party has no one, then we can help Wenchang. Although Ma Chao is brave, he is only one person. How can he defeat our army?"

"promise!"

Hearing Wei Tao's order, Xu Huang and Tai Shici also galloped out.

Just like Wei Tao's order, the two of them did not immediately help Wei Yan, but went to Ma Teng's camp to drink together.

"Xu Huang (Tai Shici) is here, who dares to fight me!"
